Anyone else think that Harry Hamlin ruled in that movie?!?!
Once again I am partnering with DonorsChoose to help raise money for local school children by growing a moustache and asking your support by donating a few of your hard earned dollars. To be honest, the only things I like more than helping kids are moustaches, whiskey, Choco Tacos, the Solid Gold Dancers, Anne Bancroft, high fives, and knitting. And ABBA. So please support my moustache and the kiddies by donating to DonorsChoose! ... more

I would like to take this chance to tell you that my students as well as music students have already been enjoying using the white boards and dry-erase markers. We have seen how these tools can increase student participation in warm-up activities, note-taking or recalling facts and vocabulary learned in lessons. Students prefer to write on the white boards over paper simply because it is more fun! The fun they have helps engage them in the learning process where they activity is more like a game related to the content of the lesson. For art class it is a great opportunity to have students both write words and create drawings as responses.”
Thank you so much for your generosity. My children absolutely love the train table and set! It is so wonderful to see just how much the train set brings about a unified community and spirit in my classroom despite the many diverse needs. On any given day, at any given time, you will see children playing together with the trains..........verbal children, nonverbal children, boys, girls, kindergarten students through third grade children, children with autism, children with anxiety issues, students with behavioral needs, and staff that would just like to participate in child's play!
We utilize the train table to build rapport with our children through play. We also are able to use the train as a motivator for task completion and / or as a reward for exhibiting appropriate behaviors. The higher level problem solving skills coupled with a fun filled activity makes for the perfect addition to any school environment!
Thank you so much for bringing about such a wonderful sense of community to our classroom through your generous donations!”
Thank you so much for all of your generosity. These books have made such a huge impact on the school community. We were able to distribute the books to each staff member from administrators, teachers, secretarial staff, custodians, and even cafeteria employees! The information and real world account described in the book was able to increase knowledge and provide an understanding of just how much the parents we serve with children on the autism spectrum go through each and every day. Hopefully, the knowledge staff was able to gain will lesson the daily struggle many of our parents go through to advocate for their child!
My parents were so appreciative of the generosity of so many people through donors choose. Many of my parents felt that the story they were reading was parallel in so many ways to theirs. If we could bring about increased compassion and understanding in one person.....and they could help bring about change in another.....and them for another.......what a greater world we'd be !
I am so appreciative. My staff is appreciative. My parents are appreciative.
My students thank you from the bottom of their hearts!”
Thank you so much for your generous donations. The students really enjoy playing from the new band method books you helped to purchase. They are very colorful and have many great songs for the students to learn. The CD and DVD that came with each book also helps to reinforce the students musical growth and experience. I can already hear improvements in many of the students playing.
I was really blown away by the amount of donors that came forward to support music in the schools. Again, thank you so much for your generosity and support. ”
With gratitude,
Mr. Snyder
